Most of us make more major modifications to the SDK for our mods.  In the
mod I am working for, we have added dozens of new files to each of the
projects, changed defines, and removed just as many of the original
files.  It is unfair to ask other developers to spend time creating new
project files when you share work, and when you send code to people not on
your team when asking them for help, it is just impolite to make them do this.

Just my thoughts on the idea.  Plus of course, there is that fact that the
SDK is well tested on 6.0.  If you use .NET, you may be introducing bugs
that could have been prevented.
